International Women’s Golf Day welcomes new golfers in every time zone around the globe

On Tuesday, June 7 more than 400 golf venues in 17 countries will host Women’s Golf Day events

The inaugural International Women’s Golf Day (WGD), set for Tuesday, June 7, 2016, has exceeded its lofty goal with more than 400 golf facilities in more than 17 countries participating in this first-of-its-kind growth of the game initiative. WGD’s mission is to Engage, Empower and Support women and they will experience this first-hand on June 7th  

WGD will be celebrated between the hours of 4:00p.m. and 8:00p.m., when women and girls will be introduced to the game in an inviting and fun environment. The event also encourages existing and former golf enthusiasts to attend with an opportunity to tee it up for nine holes. From 4:00-6:00p.m. all participants will have the option of two hours of lessons or an on-course 9-hole experience. From 6:00-8:00p.m. attendees will participate in a celebratory gathering where they’ll socialize, network, and receive information on ways to become more involved in golf (i.e. program’s lessons, leagues, clinics).

“Women play a critical role in the success of the golf industry,” says Steve Mona, CEO of the World Golf Foundation. “Nearly 23 percent of all golfers in the U.S. are female and the creation of Women’s Golf Day is an opportunity to increase awareness, participation, and showcase golf as a fun activity for people of all ages.”

At its core, WGD has the united support of 17 veteran golf industry and business professionals, each volunteering their time and/or service to help execute this worldwide event. In addition to the collaborative efforts of the WGD team, the initiative has garnered the support of key golf management companies and retail outlets including: Arcis Golf, Club Corp, Golfsmith, and PGA Superstore.
